Is ref S on wep wroth for it additional damage?

I have been refining and the items seem cursed some how. So i finay get my tech cha and BS cha to cap with 180 prof. When the summer shell and 5th anniv come i can be on my merry way crafting and statting my own gears. However, this refine is based on luck. I can get up to A without feeling so depress but S seems suck so far (i used 5 stk of mithril ore and 1 stk ori so far to get to A twice) this refine seem cursed. So i am wondering if it wroth to refine up to S for additonal damage bonus (on no slot or 1 slot gears) or A would be fine. I cant afford to have 2S gears coz im playing 3 dps and hoping to go all ele gears (yep, coz if i have summer shell i guess i can stat all i want)
I dont think i gonna sell them for profit later coz tend to be attached to my own gears (horder) so im just looking in term of cost & damage ratio. Like do i wanna to spend more $$ for extra damage and how much damage would be differ between A and S.

I Mean i wouldnt spend 10m just to go with S if the damage is like 100k diff for each dt

 

seems like it, +A imo is already good enough as the total attack given by the refinement between +A and +S is like 60+ bonus attack difference as average on most weapons.

i think worth xd cuz it effects base atk

For 2h and halb let's calculate 550 atk
550*3,25+15=1787,5+15=1902,5 atk S refine
550*2,96+14=1628+14=1742 atk A refine

With 300 atk it's 93 atk difference

Edit 2:
i tested in coryn and the results are
550+S wep only 300 str + 250 agi stats
3147 atk -----(with +%40 atk)----> 4405 atk

550+A wep with same stats
2987 atk -----(with +%40 atk)----> 4185 atk

 

If you can't refine a certain weapon leave it alone for a bit and try again another time or just dont refine it again. I had a bow that I tried refining over the course of a month and it refused to go +S, but when ever I switched to refine another weapon or item it would usually go +S without any issues, I ended up the selling bow.
I tend not to be superstitious but I think some items in this game can be cursed xD
Last anniv I spent a huge amount of spina on mats refining a Halberd, a cursed one without giving up and leaving it for another day, and after wasting all my spina and hours of my time, and feeling bitter at the game i realised if I ever dealt with a very stubborn refine again it would be better to just sell the item or try every few days hoping to be luckier another day.
Other people have answered if +S is it worth it, I would say if you want the highest potential damage you can achieve then I would say it's worth it, if you dont mind having slightly less damage then it's not necessary. But if you ever going to sell that equipment the price gap between +A and +S weapon is pretty big.

I will also say if you new to refining and never refined to +S it can feel unattainable and make you not wana keep trying, I also felt like that when first refining. I remember feeling so anxious on +A xD
But the more items you refine to +S the more easier it will feel and the more patient you will become, you'll get used to the bad days and the annoying consecutive drops on +A. Also I would recommend to have a little bit of spina to work with, don't try refining if you nearly broke.
Good luck.

 

To answer your question then yes it’s worth it, should you do it is another question. I am of the view some weapons are harder to refine than others, I always get crappy results with event drops when compared to npc or player made . As we speak I have a staff I refuse to refine to +S, I don’t have a lot of spina and I already spent 4mil+ and it only made it to +A twice , whilst a player made halb I refined to +S with only about 50k spent. So it depends on your budget if you don’t have a lot of spina +B or +A should be fine, especially if the weapon doesn’t have a high base attack......my staff has a base attack of 265 so between A-S I am loving like 300 matk and I could live with that tbh.

 

Refining with intent to refine to S is is alm9st literal depression. You're hitting the same button over and over with a screen indicating failure over and over.

Refine is to A is good. Refine to S is a nice bonus. Expect to downgrade from A to B 16 times before you should reasonably expect success. Refine to A ~4m. Refine to S, ~64m with basic broad calculations. Both A and S are worth it in their own ways.

 

Worth every single penny
Everything can stay at B but an A or S ref weap is a must for me (B is sufficient actually if you are short on spina)
It's the best way to kick boss asses harder and faster (Unless if you are tank)

 

True i got to watch series when i refine coz u keep seeing those failure!! And it becomes more and more depression as the hours go by.

 

anyone know price of refine1s B-S?
